The debate on equal marriage will begin in Australia soon with the holding of a plebiscite on the issue as we already announced several months ago. Tasmania is also preparing somehow this debate, but really in the worst way because it wants to allow some religious freedom, a way of saying to the community LGBTQ they have the equal marriage but in return the believers would have the right to discriminate by religion.

The amendment to the anti-discrimination act will enable religious groups more freedom to speak outagainstequal marriage, but it will mostly reject any complaints going against this religious freedom, providing an exemption to anti-discrimination if the act is for religious purposes.

For Prime MinisterWill Hodgmancurrent laws do not allow a "balance between the right of free speech and the need to protect people from unlawful conduct".

But for Rodney Croome, an LGBTQ advocate in Australia, this religious freedom would only develop hatred under cover a religion:"The Government is saying that humiliating and denigrating other people is wrong, unless it's done in the name of religion," he told ABC.
